(the daughter of Muawwidh bin Afra) After the consummation of my marriage, the Prophet (ﷺ) came and
sat on my bed as far from me as you are sitting now, and our little girls started beating the
tambourines and reciting elegiac verses mourning my father who had been killed in the battle of Badr.
One of them said, "Among us is a Prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow." On that the
Prophet said, "Leave this (saying) and keep on saying the verses which you had been saying before."

While I was (sitting) among the people in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a woman stood up and said,
"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! She has given herself in marriage to you; please give your opinion of her." The
Prophet did not give her any reply. She again stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! She has given
herself (in marriage) to you; so please give your opinion of her. The Prophet (ﷺ) did not give her any
reply. She again stood up for the third time and said, "She has given herself in marriage to you: so
give your opinion of her." So a man stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Marry her to me." The
Prophet asked him, "Have you got anything?" He said, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and search for
something, even if it were an iron ring." The man went and searched and then returned saying, "I
could not find anything, not even an iron ring." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you know something of
the Quran (by heart)?" He replied, "I know (by heart) such Sura and such Sura." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Go! I have married her to you for what you know of the Quran (by heart).
